Chapter 1: CHAPTER 1:- Meet The Team.

/ *{Author's P.O.V} Boston, Massachusetts.

"Clang! Clang! "

The sound of metal hitting each other resonated in the alley, two figures can be seen panting, Bella, Nō 2 Martial arts master of the Martial Art Youth's Society – MAYS was dressed in black wielding a long silver blade, the surroundings around her seemed to stop by a few degrees as her gaze turned cold, her dark brown eyes could be seen, the other person dressed in blue jeans, a white long sleeved turtleneck and black gloves held in her breath with the change in the atmosphere. She was sweating and her clothes were covered in with blood, before she could take a breather, bella struck at her again, after all she was known for her ruthless and swift attack styles, her attack were continuous as the other woman tried her best to evade the attacks.

Bella's attacks were hard to follow, they were precise hitting vital points on the other woman's body. Her stance was impeccable and elegant almost majestic, she had one job and that was to capture, the woman in front of her, Louis, Nationwide fugitive who was on the run for manslaughter and felony. She was really good with disguising and martial arts so she had managed to stay hidden for four years, but not today at least not from Bella!

"What do you want?" Louis asked panting, she couldn't feel her arms after parrying so many of Bella's attacks, her body involuntarily trembled in fear, she was afraid she would lose this battle "Surrender yourself and make it easier." bella said, "Wha-" Before she could respond, bella was no longer in front of her, Louis felt a force at the back of her head, she blacked out, the last thought on her mind was that bella was just playing with her and could have defeated her from the beginning, her guess wasn't so far off after all, her body fell to the ground, she couldn't help but wonder if bella was being lenient with or if she was going to end up in a lion's den. Louis' body laid nimbly on the floor, blood seeping out of the cuts and bruises in her body, while she was trying to collect herself before, bella had struck her on the back of the head with the heel of her blade.

Bella gently removed the cloak over her head to reveal a pair of dark brown eyes and dark brown hair, her round face looked beautiful under the moonlight. Bella smiled gently at the woman's body, if Louis was still awake she would have choked on her saliva at that smile, she had been evading bella for a few days but was suddenly cornered by her a few minutes ago, Bella let out a sigh of relief, she picked up the woman on the floor and left the alley. She knew from the beginning that she could beat Louis but where's the fun in taking her out immediately, it's not like she had anything better to do, she was holding back, Louis' defense has a lot of holes and was not good enough against her but she had completed her task whatever was done with Louis was none of her concerns.

Apparently Louis had sold secret fighting techniques that belonged to the Yang family, the Yang family is known for its indepth connection with martial arts, I dare say that martial arts is what the yang family's legacy is built on, for decades if not centuries. They are highly respected in the Martial arts world, a mere driver of the Yang family can destroy a group of hundred men, able-bodied or not, they specialise in recruiting and teaching martial arts in the most upright and moral way, so whatever louis sold and who she sold them to was really top secret and Life threatening. It was more or less a death wish knowing about the consequences but a foolish mistake to still go through with selling the sacred techniques.

Teresa didn't stop running, she didn't look back once, "Ah!! " She screamed, falling to her knees, tears filling her dark brown eyes, her surroundings was dark, her legs were weak and she couldn't pick herself up. Her heart was beating fast, her hands were covered in blood she was shaking in fear. "Tee--" A very mellow voice called, "No! this wasn't supposed to happen!". She screamed at the voice looking around frantically, a woman-like figure appeared from the shadows, her face hidden by the darkness and the black cloak she was wearing.

Teresa couldn't make out who the person was as her eyes were clouded with tears. The woman raised her right hand to show a small knife, "You deserve this bitch!" she cursed at teresa, she raised her face and a pair of green eyes shown brightly with malice, she struck the dagger at Teresa. "No!!!". Katherine was the girl wielding the dagger, aggrieved at the fact that not only was Teresa not taken advantage of but David her beloved was arrested. Katherine was angry, envious, and resentful, she decided that the only way to get her revenge was to kill teresa. She had done all the preparations and made sure Teresa was alone. Katherine struck at Teresa in an instant, the dagger reflecting light on Teresa face, teresa screamed as the blade pierced her shoulder.

Blood was seeping out of the wound, Katherine twisted the dagger, the sound of flesh being cut could be heard, that movement aggravated the wound. Teresa screamed again in pain, her face pale from blood loss and fear, many thoughts running through her head, Was she really gonna die here? why can't she wake up from this bad dream? Katherine removed the dagger from her shoulder and struck again repeatedly, earning screams from Teresa with each movement. Teresa screamed awake from her nightmare holding her chest in pain, her chest felt tight, her face pale in fear with tears rolling down her face, her dream felt so real, every jolt of pain was engraved into her. Every moment of the dream was leaving her mind with each second, Teresa burst into tears knowing that forgetting the dream now was pointless.

In the end, she would dream about it again, therapy was such a waste of money. She fell back into the king-sized bed, breathing deeply, after calming herself down, she stood up from the bed to wash up in the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she looked hideous with dark circles around her eyes, she took her time to applied some cream under her eye to reduce the puffiness and dark circles. Walking out of the bathroom with a face towel around her neck, she took in the beauty of the room, with it's dark colors and exquisite design. 'Not bad for a private jet' Teresa thought with a little smirk 'wasn't enough to be called a smile' on her face. She picked up her laptop in a jiffy and started drafting some company contracts, designs and whatnot, in less than ten seconds, she didn't look like someone who just woke up from a bad dream '=_='.

//**New York city, New York.

Her lush brown hair rested on her shoulders in soft curls, she held the gear revving her race car as she sped through the race course in minutes, leaving her opponents in the dust, her bright blue race car soured.

"Ava is in the lead with Aaron tailing behind."

" What is this?"

" The finish line is seconds away."

"Aaron races forward and beats ava to the finish line."

A red race car beat ava to the finish line by a second. Cheers, screams, whistles vibrated through the cold stadium air, Aaron climbed out of the car, reporters flood him in an instant,

" Mr. aaron, what is your goal in the racing alliance?"

"Mr. Aaron, your marital status is a sensation for the news, are you currently seeing anyone?"

" Mr. Aaron are you declaring Ava as your rival with this win?"

"Mr. Aaron is it true that you came all the way from London for this match?"

"Mr. Aaron…"

Questions were being blown left and right, Aaron ignored and walked away with reporters huddling closely. Ava got out of her car and removed her helmet, which revealed a small baby face, warm brown eyes, button nose, plump pink lips and an up-do hairstyle with bangs. She stood at a 5 foot 9 as she glared in the direction of Aaron, with her helmet under her arm she went over to the changing area. One foot in, a foot ball was shot right at her face, she managed to dodge at the last minute. Her face turned into a scowl, her bangs hid her furrowed brows but she was beyond frustrated at him plus he had a nice build which wasn't fair plus he was receiving more attention than her, even with his helmet on, she's beautiful herself, everyone is meant to acknowledge her.

She frowned as her eyes tailed to the person who threw the ball, Aaron! She scoffed at him and walked away, "You did good back there." His calm voice rang in her ears. "Thanks, no need to rub it in." Ava said sarcastically, she walked towards her locker, took her things and left. Aaron looked her receding figure in shock, then he frowned, he was genuinely praising her and she rudely answered him. So much for being nice, women are so complicated, self centered much, he paused wondering why he even talked to her in the first place, it wasn't in his character to initiate conversation with a woman, much less a self centered one. He chuckled before carrying his things and leaving the changing room.

His assistant, would definitely cough out blood if he found out his boss talked to a female, emphasis on female. Ava sat in a blue Audi X, she had changed into a pair of blue jeans, a white crop top and white sneakers, she looked more like a teenager with her height and small baby face, a book should never be judged by it's cover, she swiftly removed the hair band on her hair, her bangs were gone but rather her ling lush hair, she wore a blue nose mask as the Audi drove away. Ava and Aaron were destined to meet again, how would that go?

//** Henderson, Nevada.

"Mae, there's an emergency at the hospital!" Mira said as she burst into mae's office, Mae exited the building into a Rolls Royce car which drove straight to the hospital a mile away. The doors to the Tamb people's hospital opened, the sound of heels clicking against the floor tiles resounded gently, mae was dressed in a dark grey pant suit, a black nose mask on her face. Two nurses and an operating assistant walked towards mae in a hurry, soon Mae can be seen dressed in a pair of navy blue scrubs, a doctor's coat with her name tag, a face mask, hair net and gloves.

Looking more like a doctor and less of a business woman,

"Henry Simmons, has a brain disorder, three broken ribs, a mangled foot and glass fragments in his stomach, head and chest regions." Nurse 1 said.

"Is the OR ready." Mae asked.

"Yes doctor." Nurse 2 said.

Mae walked into the Operating Room, her operating assistant, Camilla behind with the two nurses, they was another surgeon on the room, Lee Kim, the surgery began,

"Scalpel."

"Forceps."

"Suction tube."

Six hours later, Mae walker out of the OR removing her bloodied gloves, the family members of the patient rushed towards her in an instant. She gave a list of drugs that should be administered to the patient once he gains consciousness to the two nurses, the patient was transferred to the ICU due to the nature of his injuries.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"He's stable, thankfully the injuries were grave. After a few weeks he would be fine." Mae responded to the patient's family.

She left afterwards to change into her business clothes. On her way out of the hospital, she ran over parts of the body in her mind, her thoughts pointed out that those injuries were not caused by the car accident only. If a person had a head collision on his chest, the ribs broken should be aligned but Mr. Henry's ribs that were broken; his first right rib, fourth and sixth left rib, a few minor scars that could have been from bruises or cuts. Mae was so engrossed in her thoughts, she didn't pay attention to her surroundings.

Bang!

She bumped into something hard and sturdy, her head buzzing as she stumbled backwards, her thin heels made her lose balance, her centre of gravity was unstable, she felt her body fall backwards, she was already bracing herself for the fall when a strong pair of hands wrapped around her waist pulling her into a firm hold and warm chest. It all happened in a flash, Mae's head shot up to look at the person holding her. It was Lee Kim, their position made Mae uncomfortable as she squirmed out of his arms, "Thank you." Mae said curtly attempting to walk away. He held her wrist stopping her, Mae glanced at him coldly which made him let go of her hand. She noticed his obvious stare, infatuation swarm in his eyes, even a blind person would be able to tell something was up.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to ask if you would like to-" His warm voice had barely been able to register a sentence across when she interrupted him coldly saying "No!", her cold voice was clear and crisp carrying a light tone that made people at a loss for words. He locked his grey eyes with her with her cold brown own, his heart stopped for a second but then realization dawned on him when he realized that she had turned him down without even letting him finish his sentence. Hurt flashed on his face. "I'm quite busy Mr. Lee, I'll be on my way." Mae said walking toward the exit, get face held a scowl.
